Hot plate in charcoal smoker

[Texas Jim]

I did a little experimenting today. I put a 1100 watt electric hot plate in my Char-Broil box smoker, set a smoke box on it, fired it up and shut all the vents. After 30 minutes, the temp stabilized at 203* and the box was full of smoke.

But why trap all the smoke in?
